In "Write Great Fiction: Revision & Self-Editing," James Scott Bell draws on his experience as a novelist and instructor to provide specific revision tips geared toward the first read-through, as well as targeted self-editing instruction focusing on the individual elements of a novel like plot, structure, characters, theme, voice, style, setting, and endings. 

You'll learn how to:

  • Systematically revise a completed draft using the ultimate revision checklist that talks you through the core story elements
